S. Lindegren et al., High-efficiency astatination of antibodies using N-iodosuccinimide as the oxidising agent in labelling of N-succinimidyl 3-(trimethylstannyl)benzoate, NUCL MED BI, 28(1), 2001, pp. 33-39
Monoclonal antibodies C215, reactive with colorectal carcinomas, and MOv18,
reactive with most of the ovarian carcinomas, were radiohalogenated with [
At-211]astatine. The radiohalogen was conjugate coupled to antibodies via t
he intermediate labelling reagent N-succinimidyl-3-(trimethylstannyl)benzoa
te (m-MeATE) in a two-step, single-pot reaction. Optimisation of the labell
ing of the reagent was achieved using N-iodosuccinimide, NIS, as the oxidis
ing agent. The yields ranged from 69-95% in the labelling of 0.1-1.0 nmole
of the m-MeATE precursor. Subsequent conjugation to antibodies resulted in
yields of 58+/-7%. In vitro binding to tumour cells showed that the immunor
eactivity of both antibodies was retained after astatine labelling. (C) 200
